It's been a very long time, but the Savoys have survived the departure of our guitar player, we've recruited a new bass player, and we've learned a whole pile of new tunes. It's taken over 6 months, but the band is ready to start gigging again.
On August 1 and 2, the "all-new" Savoy Blues Band will be performing at the Redcliff Hylton. The show will start at 9:30. As usual, there will be no cover charge.
We hope we can get the word out to all our fans -- especially those who have been with us since the very beginning. I know everyone will love the new sound of the band. So spread the word! The Savoys are back, and we mean business.

Only Three Weeks Remain
Until the Savoy Blues Band goes on it's yearly summer hiatus. That means if you need your fix of big band blues, time is running out to catch us!
Friday March 30, 2007 at The Silver Buckle, 9:30pm start
Thursday, April 3, 2007 at The Silver Buckle, 9:30pm start
Friday & Saturday April 4-5, 2007 at the Blue Turtle, ~9:30pm start
Friday & Saturday April 11-12, 2007 at the Mainliner Pub, ~9:30pm start
We will return in the Fall, where we should have new material for all you fans. This year has been very productive for us; we managed to work in a new bass player, and replace a large selection of material that we lost when our female lead singer left the act at the same time. We now have a solid set of funk that's making everybody shake their booty.
We expect to pick up more blues, funk and even some ska for the fall, but I can only speculate as much as the next guy -- and I'm in the band!

The Weekend Abstract
This past weekend marked the return of the Savoy Blues Band to the stage since December. Even though we haven't been gigging, we have certainly been busy, and I hope it was reflected in our performances. Since our last show we have added about 5 more songs to our repertoire: Looking Back, (Going Down to) Big Mary's, Sweet Soul Music, Hold On I'm Comin', and I am sure there are a few others that have eluded me.
The addition of all this material puts the Savoys in an interesting position; since the departure of BW and PW, we lost a lot of material, and has been subsequently replaced with a solid set of upbeat blues and funk that will make anyone want to shake their booty. This also means that the Savoys now have more material than can be performed on any given night. So, even though some of the less exciting material can be dropped from the roster, it is more likely that our music will enter a rotation, and every show will be different.
Overall, it was a successful weekend. The crowd was energetic, enthusiastic, and very supportive of our material. As or the band, after dusting off a few cobwebs at the Silver Buckle on Thursday, the band kept getting tighter and tighter, until Saturday, where everything was working like a well-oiled machine. I think this weekend was the best we have played since Mark joined the band.
In two weeks we will be entertaining the Folks at the Redcliff Hylton. Check the calendar for more info. We aim to have a few more songs ready for that show. If you can make it, we'd love to see you there.

Set List
As many blues artists cover their peers' material, it doesn't make much sense to cite the artists who originally wrote the song. Often, it is a cover artist whom has popularized the song. Therefore, the following list only cites the titles of the song.
This list will be updated periodically, when the band learns new material:
